The FSS was developed by a formal consensus process of health professionals from 11 institutions within and outside the research network including pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, pediatric developmental psychologists, pediatric physiatrists, pediatric nurses, pediatric intensivists, and pediatric respiratory therapists. A prior, single institution pilot study had demonstrated the utility of using the primary nurse as a suitable observer for functional status, the potential of a simple scale to accurately reflect functional status as measured by adaptive behavior, and the potential to correctly categorize patients by functional status. The pilot study showed very good inter-rater reliability between two data collectors, and supported the use of adaptive behavior to establish external validity. Domains of functioning selected during the consensus process included mental status, sensory functioning, communication, motor functioning, feeding, and respiratory status (Table 1). Functional status for each domain was categorized from normal (1 ) to very severe dysfunction (5 (link)). FSS scores ranged from 6 to 30. The definitions of the domain cells are shown in the Appendix.

Data were obtained from the Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation (KOSCO), a cohort of acute, first-ever stroke patients who were admitted to participating hospitals in 9 distinct areas of Korea [14 (link), 15 (link)]. The KOSCO study was designed as a 10-year, longitudinal-follow-up study of stroke patients. It is a prospective multi-center project that investigates the residual disabilities, activity limitations, and long-term quality of life in patients suffering from first-time stroke. All eligible patients were recruited from August 2012 until May 2015. Patients formally entered the study after they provided written informed consent. If the patient was unable to make decision upon informed consent, it was obtained from the patient’s legally authorized representative. The study protocol was approved by Samsung Medical Center Institutional Review Board (approval number 2012-06-016). The KOSCO study included 7,858 first-ever stroke patients (6,254 ischemic and 1,604 hemorrhagic). Three months after stroke onset, 5,759 patients had completed the face-to-face follow-up assessment.
The MBI developed by Shah et al.[5 (link)] is a 100-point rating scale of a patient’s ability to perform 10 kinds of ADL. Each activity is assigned a numeric value according to the patient’s requirement for assistance. Lower scores indicate less independence, whereas higher scores indicate greater independence. Therefore, the maximum score of 100 represents a patient fully independent in performing basic ADL, whereas the lowest score (0) represents a totally dependent state. The MBI was translated into the Korean (K-MBI) by 6 Korean physiatrist experts in stroke. The contents of the test items were revised to reflect the Korean culture and lifestyle, and its validity and reliability were previously verified.(9) The mRS defines 6 different grades of disability and 1 for death [16 (link)]. mRS grade 6 was not included in this analysis because the present study focuses on the relationship between K-MBI and mRS, and patients with mRS grade 6 disability were unavailable to undergo K-MBI assessment.
K-MBI and mRS were obtained by face-to-face evaluator interviews with patients. To maintain optimum validity and interrater reliability, all assessments were performed by qualified evaluators who were licensed occupational or physical therapists and completed the standard training program provided by the KOSCO study. The standardized training program was held at the beginning of and every 3 months during the study period. The initial training program with a one-day workshop was performed three times before enrollment. The evaluators passed the standardized examination for functional assessments including on-line tests of the K-MBI and mRS to be approved to participate in data collection. The training program consisted of a one-day workshop and one-on-one education by an experienced evaluator for one week. The same regulation applied to additional evaluators who took part in the data collection.

The following databases were searched in order to find relevant guidelines: Medline, Embase and National Guideline Clearinghouse (guidelines.gov). The search strategy used was osteoarthritis and guideline(s) in the title and/or abstract and/or MESH heading. For selection, the guidelines had to meet the following criteria: published or updated between 2001 and August 2006, major focus on knee osteoarthritis, addressing the treatment of the condition, published in English or French, and available electronically.
Six guidelines were identified using this search strategy [6 (link)-11 (link)]. One guideline was a partial update [7 (link)] of a previously published guideline [12 (link)], and both of these were combined for the evaluation. Four of the guidelines were complete updates of previously published guidelines [6 (link),8 (link)-10 ], while one guideline was entirely new [11 (link)]. The quality of prior versions of four of the guidelines [6 (link)-9 ] had been assessed in a previous review [5 (link)].
These guidelines were distributed to four groups of three or four evaluators. Each group reviewed one guideline, with the exception of one group that reviewed two guidelines. One independent evaluator reviewed all guidelines. In total, 13 clinician researchers (five rheumatologists, three physiotherapists, one physiatrist, one occupational health physician, one psychologist, one family physician, one physician specialized in medical information) participated in the review. In addition to the guidelines, each evaluator was asked to read the AGREE instrument training manual [4 ] and received a 2-hour training session. This AGREE tool was used to assess the quality of the guidelines and has been shown generally reliable [13 (link),14 (link)].
The AGREE instrument is composed of 23 items organized into six domains: scope/purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigour of development, clarity/presentation, applicability, and editorial independence. Guidelines with a clear scope/purpose specifically describe objectives and patient applicability. Stakeholder involvement is successfully addressed when all relevant groups, including patients, are included in the guideline development process, with target users defined and guidelines piloted among them. Guidelines with rigour in their development use systematic methods to search and select evidence, with an explicit link between evidence and recommendation formulation. In guidelines effectively addressing clarity/presentation, specific and unambiguous key recommendations and management options are easily identifiable. Applicability involves discussing cost and organizational implications of the guideline, and providing monitoring tools. Editorial independence is effectively addressed when conflicts of interest and independence from funding bodies are clearly stated.
A domain score is calculated by adding the scores of the items in a domain and by standardizing the total out of 100%. Domain scores greater than 60% are considered effectively addressed, a cutoff value used in the AGREE instrument for overall assessment [4 ]. The guideline is strongly recommended if it rates high (three or four out of four) on the majority of items and most domain scores are above 60%, is recommended if it rates high (three or four) or low (one or two) on a similar number of items and most domain scores are between 30% and 60%, and is not recommended if it rates low (one or two) on the majority of items and most domain scores are below 30% [4 ].
Each evaluator independently reviewed the guideline that was assigned to their group, using the AGREE instrument. Each group then met on two separate occasions with electronic and telephone exchanges between the meetings. At the last meeting, disagreements on ratings of the individual items were discussed until a consensus was reached on all items.

The general characteristics of the enrolled subjects included age, sex, and flexible flatfoot conditions. Both lateral foot radiographs of the children at the time of diagnosis and at the end of treatment were taken to evaluate the effects of foot insole application in a barefoot standing position. Foot lateral radiography was used for radiographic measurement. The bilateral calcaneal pitch angle (CPA) and Meary’s angle, known as the talo first metatarsal angle (TMA), were measured in both feet. CPA is defined as the angle between the calcaneus and inferior aspect of the foot. TMA is defined as the angle between the line of the longitudinally bisected talus and the longitudinal axis of the 1st metatarsal bone (Fig. 2). Both radiologic indices calculated through foot lateral radiography in a standing position are usually used clinically as criteria for flexible flatfoot: CPA < 15’; TMA > 3’.[14 (link)] Both indices were periodically followed up within 3 to 4 months after the beginning of the foot insole prescription. The process of radiologic evaluation with adjustment of the foot insole was terminated at the point of loss of the associated symptoms, as mentioned above. All the radiographic parameters were measured by a trained physiatrist.
The foot insole was also adjusted periodically for 3 to 4 months after confirmation of the follow up radiograph. The device was custom-made using ethylene vinyl acetate with foam materials. This supported the medial longitudinal arch (Fig. 3). During the intervention, the foot insole was revised according to the height of the pad.

Patients completed three validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Healthcare utilization was measured with a study-specific questionnaire). This questionnaire was based on the existing Treatment Inventory of Costs in Patients with psychiatric disorders (TIC-P) questionnaire. During a consensus meeting, healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of meningioma patients selected those aspects that were considered relevant for the care trajectory of meningioma patients. The study-specific questionnaire to measure healthcare utilization was used to assess the frequency of healthcare professional consultation in the twelve months prior to the study. We considered consultation with the following healthcare professionals relevant for meningioma patients: general practitioner, neurologist, neurosurgeon, oncologist, radiation oncologist, ophthalmologist, dermatologist, ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist, endocrinologist, physiatrist, plastic surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist and physiotherapist. Data on the reason for visitation of healthcare professionals were not collected, as these were not explicitly reported in the patient charts or questionnaire. Patients were categorized into high (≥ 3 visits) or low specialist care utilization (< 3 visits), based on the total number of visits to any relevant medical specialist during the previous twelve months. The study-specific healthcare utilization questionnaire assessed the use of medication in terms of dosage and frequency, which was used to determine the use of antiepileptic drugs, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and hormone replacement therapy. In addition, the use of the emergency room and admission in healthcare facilities (i.e., academic hospitals, non-academic hospitals, psychotherapeutic facilities, and rehabilitation centers) was assessed. HRQoL was measured with the Short-Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire, brain neoplasm module (EORTC QLQ-BN20). Anxiety and depression were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). More detailed information about these PROMs can be found in the supplemental file (Supplemental File).

The MMR intervention consisted of 5 steps: (i) screening using the ÖMPSQ at the point of seeking primary care physician or physiotherapist, (ii) meeting with case manager (CM) and formal consent from the patient, (iii) CM presentation of the new patient at the weekly core MMR team meeting including planning if care, examination or social service were needed, (iv) team assessment together with the patient for individual rehabilitation plan composition starting the rehabilitation process (in some cases the only intervention), and (v) CM follow-up and implementation of the rehabilitation plan (Fig. 1). The core of the MMR team included the primary care physician, the physiotherapist and the CM. Existing personnel and resources were remodelled to meet the needs of the MMR intervention. When needed, the MMR team also included a social worker, a mental health nurse, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation as well as an occupational therapist and nutrition therapist. A specialist physician was occasionally consulted for differential diagnostics. All patients were expected to actively participate.
The MMR intervention was highly patient-oriented and the individual rehabilitation plan was outlined according to the needs of each patient. Therefore, there was no time limit for the intervention, which could continue even after 1-year follow-up. The plan could contain, for example, appointments with a physiotherapist, psychologist and/or occupational therapist, lifestyle plan changes, social worker contact, etc.

Our specialized interdisciplinary rehabilitation pro-bono clinic serves equity-deserving uninsured individuals with catastrophic injury or physical disability (primarily from stroke, SCI, TBI, or amputations). The disciplines involved with our clinic include (but are not limited to) physiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, social workers, pharmacists, rehab psychologists, adaptive equipment specialists, prosthetists, orthotists, nurses, and interpreters. Between April and June 2020, the clinic was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To continue to serve patients, a virtual clinic was developed and telephone-based needs assessments were conducted for all patients previously served by the clinic. The calls served as an informal, monthly means of communicating with patients to assess their specific needs. When needs were identified, the clinic leadership attempted to assist in any way possible. These calls started in April 2020 and continued through November 2020.

The eligibility criteria used to assess the tweets included: 1. Containing at least one of the keywords that refers to an antidepressant(s) or the term ‘antidepressant’; 2. Written in English; 3. Posted between a 10-day period between 14th June 2022 and 23rd June 2022; 4. Containing original text; 5. Posted by a user who self-identified as a healthcare provider. Several preliminary searches determined a 10-day span would be feasible considering the scale of data and the capability of manual analysis. Posts on Twitter are generally categorised into tweets (including those that quoted another tweet), retweets and replies. For this study, only tweets and replies were included, since retweets are identical reposts and thus were considered duplicate content.
The inclusion/exclusion criteria were applied within Microsoft Excel, by authors manually reviewing the textual data. Microsoft Excel allowed screening and excluding data easily according to our criteria 1–4. For criterion 5, user profiles (names and bios) associated with the identified tweets were assessed for eligibility, whereby tweets posted by healthcare providers were eligible and categorised by their roles byYD. The definition of “healthcare providers” (Table 1) was adapted from the version defined by Lee et al. which was previously used to conduct a Twitter analysis of healthcare providers.42 (link) It was expanded in this study to”relevant healthcare professionals, providers and students”, who were considered people or organisations which the general public may expect to be more knowledgeable about healthcare, such as physicians (including psychiatrists), nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, researchers, medical students, and organisations in medical fields and other allied professionals (e.g, therapists, dietitians). Where there was ambiguity over someone's eligibility due to dubious expression over their role, a second researcher (NW) was consulted. If it was not certain that they were a healthcare provider, i.e., they did not use definitive terminology such as ‘pharmacist’ or ‘medic’, they were not included in the analysis. The content of the tweet text had not been considered in this stage to avoid bias.
